KEEP YOU'D RECEIPTS.

Housekeepers should not destroy re-
ceipNs or other memoranda OF pay
nents to grocers, butchers, bakers and
others. A file would occupy but lit
tie space, and in the course OF q year
would pay for itself ten times over.
Here is a case in illustration: A
butcher boy left basket of meat with
q servant maid, and with it a slip not
ing the money due. The girl paid him
and the lad receipted the memoran-
dunn. Instead of filing the receipt the
girl laid il down in the kitchen, and in
an hour or two il was gone and not
thought Of again until needed. On the
Monday following the butcher boy
called again and demanded the money.
The girl protested that she had paid
him, and he triumphantly demanded
a sight OF the receipt. The result was
that the butcher was paid twice over.
However, when the next receipt was
in hand the girl carefully filed II, and,
to be sure, with full faith in the girl s
continued careless habits, the butcher
boy came within a fortnight and bra
zenly demanded the money again.
Then the maid told her mistress OF the
situation. The lady OF the house
A4AiA0AN AAAAAAt1NA AAAN Wy aAAaA NAA@ Vii
had been paid, but he defiantly assured
her that she was mistaken. She then
donned her street dress and acoompa-
MED the boy 20 his employers store,
with the receipt in her pocket. Here
turbulent scene took place. The
butcher man never made mistakes =
his books were infallible, and he would
not be satisfied until the money was
paid. He was always having trouble
with this one customer. The lady qui-
city protested that the bill had beer
paid, and that she believed that she
had frequently paid him twice for the
same delivery. The butcher was very
indignant at this base insinuation. and
with an effort suppressed an oath that
was struggling for liberty to crush tht
lady. SO sOOu as he had reached ths
point where the bridges were barneC
behind him, admitting Of no retreat
she coolly took the receipt from hel
side pocket and exhibited it. 70 his ute
confusion and deep humiliation TheI
she firmly demanded the return o
| money that she merely believed shi
had many times paid him upon unjus
| collection. The butcher abjeetly com
piled, and the lady left the store firu
believer in the old adage, Receipt
should never be destroyed"

TAnoR-AzADe DRESSES.

Whatever approaches the tailor dress
in general effect should be worn only
on strictly informal, out-of-door occa-
SONS. Those who follow closely the
demands of fashion would not think
of appearing at any formal gathering
arrayed in one of them. Care should
be taken, therefore, that such suits are
confined solely 70 the street, morning
drives or business occasions,
For more dressy use the same fabrics
may be made up with various comb
nation materials, or, indeed, be used
wholly by themseives-the fashion be-
ing much more elaborate, and the gen
eral effect, while It could not be i'm
proved, for the plain, handsomely I'm
ished dress is by far the most elegant
yet the addition of few folds or the
different arrangement Of the draperies
may make an almost complete trans.
formation in the style OF the costume
and render 1t appropriate for the house
or the many smaller occasions where
fine woollen suits are altogether ap
propriate and desirable. = Philadel

opes marked {" Rent" " Wages, 4" la

ever the money comes in she puts aside
in these envelopes whatever she knows
to be the inevitable and regularly re-
curing expenses. The surplus goes
into another packet, marked s. Neces-
sary Incidentals." This includes wear
and tear Of household goods, clothes,
doctors bills, etc. She never "robs
Peter to pay Paul by borrowing from
one Of these envelopes TO use for an
other purpose. II she ends the " Ia
bic Supplies running low, she simpli-
fies her way OF living. II there is any
thing left over, Il can only be in the
"a Necessary Incidentals deposit. and
this at the end Of the month is placed
"a the bank
